TOM PERROTTA reads at Brookline Booksmith

Brookline Booksmith is pleased to welcome author TOM PERROTTA (Election, Little Children, The Leftovers) as he reads from his newest novel, Mrs. Fletcher.

Eve Fletcher is trying to figure out what comes next.  A forty-six-year-old divorcee whose beloved only child has just left for college, Eve is struggling to adjust to her empty nest when one night her phone lights up with a text message.  Sent from an anonymous number, the mysterious sender tells Eve, “U R my MILF!”  Over the months that follow, that message comes to obsess Eve.  Sharp, witty, and provocative, Mrs. Fletcher is a timeless examination of sexuality, identity, parenthood, and the big clarifying mistakes people can make when they’re no longer sure of who they are or where they belong.
